Late Night PC

At the end of last month, I mentioned that I'd be heading up to Wasaga Beach for some fireworks and a break from the grind. I decided that since I enjoy my vacations so much, it would be nice to write about that trip and some of my others. I've been writing that travel log lately, but I backdate the entries so they make sense. The idea of a travel journal has been floating around in my head for a while, so I have some other photos from earlier this year that I might get around to putting up later. I took a lot of pictures at beaches around Los Angeles, and I also have some from beaches in southern Ontario (Canada). So here's a link to read about my trips and see my pictures so far.

It's been an exciting site to build. I learn a little more with each one that I build. With the On Beaches Travel Journal (the official title so far), I think I've done my best so far. As a starting point, I used the very popular Connections theme. Ioannis ported the theme to Gallery and that served as a starting point for my visuals. There's more to it than just putting some software on the server though. There's a lot of massaging and debugging that goes on to make things work the way you see them in your head. I want a site that anyone can find their way around. Something so that I can tell anyone "yeah, I've been there, you can read about it on my site," and not have to think about whether they know what a blog is or how a gallery works. So hopefully people can read what I have to say instead of just thinking of it in the context of a web site.
